On Wednesday, the band performed at the Gillette Stadium in Boston, and at one point, the camera panned to the crowd, capturing a man, who has yet to be formally identified, with his arms wrapped around an unnamed woman. “Oh, look at these two!” Chris exclaimed as the man suddenly let go of her. Looking shocked, the woman turned away from the camera to cover her face as the red-faced man dipped to the floor, away from camera view.

“What? Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy,” Chris said as the audience laughed.

Another said, “I’m really hollering at Chris Martin being like ‘oh LOOK at this cute couple’ and then being like ‘wait, why are you hiding?!”
